- stratmancj, on 10/12/2007, -3/+41use firefox ... i got no pop ups
- somunny, on 10/12/2007, -1/+25"Why the hell hasn't there been a Zelda game?"
Where have you been? - djSyndrome, on 10/12/2007, -0/+17Because Nintendo doens't hate itself.
- pumacub, on 10/12/2007, -0/+17I know, why not just replace it with "this movie will be crap"?
- Methodius, on 10/12/2007, -2/+17I would be amused endlessly by Julia Roberts running around chirping "Hey! Listen!!" every five seconds.
But who would play Link? And if you say Orlando Bloom, I will stab you in the jaw. - optimo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11Vin Diesel? You got to be joking, right. How about the lead role?
Come on, who just outs Vin Diesel, of all the ***** faces in the crowd.
Let's get Julia Roberts to play Navi, cuz she looks like a pixie N.e.way.
You make me laugh, but you make me cry. - seaner, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Mirror of image: http://5tags.com/tmp/castlevania.jpg
- somunny, on 10/12/2007, -9/+18Thanks for linking a site with six pop-up ads.
- answer42, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10Whats a pop up? I havent seen one in so long, I almost forgot they existed. Time to switch to Firefox
- xrisnothing, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7I think a Zelda movie would be incredibly lame. The things that make for great video games make for crap movies. I'm sure the magical ocarina would translate fabulously to the big screen...
If they really call this thing Dracula Begins... lametards... - bitt3n, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7the whole point of saying that is so people will know it wasn't directed by UWE BOLL
- themurph2099, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7I call shenanigans. If that were any more fake it would be Anna Nicole Smith

The Castlevania series is about a war between the enchanted family bloodline of the Belmonts and Dracula. Almost every hundred years, Dracula is resurrected and it is up to the Belmonts to defeat him before he unleashes his wrath on the entire world.
Original NES Castlevania Logo
The most notable Belmont is perhaps Simon Belmont, star of the first several Castlevania games. However, the games feature many other characters, including Belmonts, relatives and other people that the player can control. Included among the usable characters is Adrian Fahrenheit Tepes, also known as Alucard, the son of Dracula himself. Also, several female characters star in some of the later games. See Castlevania characters for more information about the characters of Castlevania.
The series is loosely based on Bram Stoker's novel Dracula. In fact, the novel is included in the official timeline of the series, with Castlevania: Bloodlines taking place shortly afterwards. The connection even goes as far as to claim that Quincy Morris, a character from the novel who lands the final blow against Dracula at the cost of his own life, is in fact a Belmont descendant. Morris is also said to have a son, John and grandson, Jonathan, who star in Bloodlines and Portrait of Ruin, respectively. The series also incorporates a variety of other creatures from classic horror fiction, films, fantasy, and mythology. These monsters serve to obstruct the path to Dracula but are rarely tied to the game's plot.

- marning2000, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Castlevania should be spell with a lower case "v". ^^
- triplexpac, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4That poster looks so fake. It obviously needs more bevel & emboss
- kithraya, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Not only did I get no popup windows thanks to FireFox, but the Adblock and Flashblock extensions kept all the annoying crap on the page from showing up at all.
- DanteDefiance, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! /Vader
WHY GOD?! Paul W. is on par with Michel Bay as hack directors. I wish people would just leave the video game-movie thing alone. Video games do not translate well to the big screen. You can't take interactive entertainment and turn it in to something you do not interact with. - jenoosia, on 10/12/2007, -4/+7http://thor.mirtna.org/oddities/lookalikes/pics/link-01.jpg
- OneZeroZeroOne, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Out of all the video game movies out there, I think Castlevania would have the best chance of actually not sucking completely. It's pretty hard to ***** up a vampire movie worse than they're already been ***** up.
Castlevania already has a great storyline and awesome characters. You're right though, Paul W. will destroy anything he gets his slimy hands on. It'd be great to see a legitimate director and cast working on this.
Unfortunately, it'll be some half-assed ***** and bull story that somehow involves an unrealistically beautiful woman living in 2010. She'll be descended from the Belmonts and will end up having to go back in time with her boyfriend (Brad Pitt) to rescue Simon when Alucard is awakened by a 10 year old boy accidentally uncovering his coffin (which for no reason at all is conveniently in his grandparent's basement)
I don't understand why directors find it SO hard to write a movie that stays true to the source material without camping it up and making it into a live action 2-bit cartoon. - crilen007, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4"Well Excuuuuuuuse me, princess".
- DanteDefiance, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Well I just got owned ;)
- rhesuspieces00, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Do you really want to mention "Alien vs. Predator" on your game adaptation movie poster? AvP was just about the biggest let down in the history of comic book adaptations. Absolutely abysmal.
- mofo196, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Agreed. Who the hell would want to advertise they were involved with Resident Evil OR Aliens vs Predator? Obviously a fake.
- Buga, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3How do you not have firefox?
- acff, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4zero for me
- BritishGolgo13, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3If you believe Orlando would make a good Link then you meet me in the lobby, I'll be the guy stabbing jaws.
- Methodius, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2@BritishGolgo13
There aren't too many of us out there, are there? - GreenPlastik, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I believe that title is already held for life by Uwe Boll. How that guy keeps getting funding is beyond me.
- DanteDefiance, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Seriously!
I mean Aliens VS ***** Predator! That just sounds like monster movie of the century! All he had to to was set up a VERY basic story for these two to meet up, and the let them go at it for two hours. - ahhell, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Thank god this isn't another Uwe Boll abortion.
Although, it will probably suck anyways (Paul Anderson!?!??!).
Barf. - sctechguy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Unfortunately, this movie is real, and is being directed by Anderson: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0488982/
Oh, and to make matters even worse, Anderson is also writing the script as well. - bwishey, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Replied to the wrong guy... *oops*
Bury please! - NewPunk, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3I thought the exact same thing when I saw that... but I guess we can't expect much from this movie. I hate video game movies now... Doom was horrible... luckily I finished a mickey of rum in the theatre (unbeknownst to the theatre staff) and I laughed my ass off criticising the movie at every scene. A guy two seats back told us to shut the ***** up... ahh good times...
- bwishey, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Penny Arcade had a comic about a Tetris movie :)

"See the new shape of fear"
And a live action World of Warcraft is already in the works.
http://www.blizzard.com/press/060509.shtml - voltron, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Agree on him being on par with Michael Bay, the ass clown prince of all movie directors.
- vhold, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I think a Metroid movie would be particularly impossible because the main character never talks and she is always totally alone.
It could be done, but for it to even remotely feel like Metroid, it'd have to be a very unusual movie. - dan0368, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I don't think anyone was expecting an epic film, just something decent.
- Guye, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Am I the only one who likes the poster? I mean, it could be A LOT worse...
Can't really go wrong with the castle on the hill for a Castlevania movie poster.
Course, I'm not saying the movie will be any good...
Its weird, if you listen to Anderson talk about game adaptations, he sounds like he knows what he's doing. I think the problem is he caves easily under studio pressure and lets the suits run his films. - jsls, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1That poster sucks!!!
- joeydoo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1It look like they got a screen cap of the castle in Bram Stoker's Dracula and put pretty basic lettering in the front.
Not tooooo impressed. - ka0tic, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1This is gonna be another Bloodrayne.
- mandarin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Mortal Kombat was good.
- Buga, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Thanks for the Mirror, +1
- sidebuster, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3I thoroughly enjoyed Resident Evil and AvP. I took them for what they were, B grade movies. I wasn't all "Joey ***** film critic" while watching them either. Doing that can make any movie suck ass.
- Karyyk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1On the other hand, the comics and games were great. The original Alien vs. Predator on the Atari Jaguar still holds a special place for me...great game.
- fallenone05, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2@djSyndrome
"Because Nintendo doens't hate itself."
Have you seen the Super Mario Movie?? - adamchristopher, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Finally some sense in here. That poster is obviously fake, yet the first half of the posts are teaching a classes on how to install firefox and how to ruin the best game franchise ever by making a zelda movie.
Oh digg, how I miss ye. - stealthboy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I'm going to go out on a limb here, but I think the *only* good game->movie translation was "Clue". All others have completely sucked.
